Authority founded on injustice is never of long duration.

This life is only a prelude to eternity.

To meditate an injury is to commit one.

Disease is not of the body but of the place.

We have not to talk, but to steer the vessel.

There is no evil that does not offer inducements. Vices tempt you by the rewards which they offer.

The pleasures of the palate deal with us like Egyptian thieves who strangle those whom they embrace.
